I just picked up a Eddystone manuractured in July 1918. It's been refurbished at San Antonio. The barrel is HS. Very clean and bore is shiny with sharp lands and grooves. I took the whole thing apart and noticed on the inside of the buttplate there's one marking which is a "W" with a triangle above it with what looks like a "r" inside the triangle. There is also a "U" stamped to the opposite side of the screw hole. Also, the flap for the cleaning compartment contains the same "W"/triangle and the number 34. Is the buttplate from a Winchester ? I was surprised to see that the "W" on the rear sight indicates "White Sewing Machine". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
